THE REGATTA-President Hufty, of the
Old Dominion Boat Club. says the prospects
of a successful regatta on July 4th are very
encouraging. The arrangements are nearly
completed There will be junior and senior
singles, junior and senior fours, an eight
cared shell, and two gig races. One gig
race will be open for all, the other only to
the crews in the Virginia State Rowing AS.
ISOLATION. The course will be from below
Jones's Point to the finish in front of the
boat house, one mile and half straight
away. In all probability it will be smooth,
as the water is quiet four nights out of five.

$50 p. m, the visiting crews will be taken
to Marshall Hall as the guests of the Alex
andria boys, where the prizes will be award
ed. They will consist of gold medals. No
pennants will be given. Two tugs have

NoTTHE MAN-The Strasburg NewS says:
Our town was somewhat excited last Saturday

different parties and all remarked the resemb-
lance A reward of 500 has been offered for the
capture and conviction of Williams, and this was

warm. blooded citizens to organize pursuit and
capture the supposed murderer. But an intima-
tion, carelossly dropped by some one who had
